Owing to the vast amount of alleles, high-resolution human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing is expensive and time-consuming. Scientists have attempted to develop computational approaches to define HLA alleles with high confidence. We tested the reliability of HLA*IMP and SNP2HLA for imputing HLA-DRB1 alleles in a Finnish material (n=161). The per-individual success rates varied between 16.68% and 25.4% using both...
